Little Dishy: How to make a gift box. I've always liked putting gifts into elegant boxes. I remember watching the movie 'Splash! ' as a little girl and loved the scene where Tom Hanks gives Daryl Hannah a gift and she says, "Its beautiful! " thinking that the gorgeous box with a ribbon round it is the actual present and not just the wrapping. Since then I've tried to make my gift packaging as lovely as what's inside. This box is for the candle I made for my friend Charlotte's birthday. My first step was to measure the candle's width and height; as they were quite similar I decided to make the base and sides the same size, and leave space to pack the candle with tissue paper. Using medium weight card, I blocked out the base and sides in a cross shape.
With a sharp cutting tool, I cut round the edges and then cut a slit at the bottom of the flaps. If I were using decorative card or only wanted a simple box, I wouldn't bother covering it, but as I had this very glamorous paper I thought I'd use it to create a glossy finish.

When I bought something at a store recently, the clerk handed me my purchase in a bag made from a newspaper. I liked it very much and had to make some more—thus today's DIY recycled newspaper project: gift bags made from the Wall Street Journal. You can vary the dimensions, of course, but here's what I used to create a bag that's 5" tall, 4.5" wide, and 3" deep. Stack two sheets of newspaper on top of each other. This will be a two-ply bag for extra sturdiness. Cut out a rectangle that's 15.5" wide and 8.25" tall. Fold a flap 1.25" down from the top.
Cut two pieces of cardstock or chipboard to 4.25" x 1", then glue them on the widest two panels just under the top fold. Put glue on the outside of the 0.5" tab and bring the left-most panel over to form the body of the bag, aligning the cut edge of the panel with the folded edge of the flap. Upend the bag so the 2" flap is now up. Put glue on both flaps and fold them inward to form the bottom of the bag.
